Student success (Scott) – Next step will look at reorganizing; response plan prioritization.

UMLS (Brandon and David) – response from Ex Libris to satisfaction survey; series scheduled in early March on data quality in network zone.   We need to see more benefit demonstrated.  There are consortial groups via ELUNA.  We may be the only group engaging with Ex Libris on user satisfaction.  Note ELUNA is in LA this year but it’s during COLD, maybe we could have a discussion adjacent to the COLD meeting.

Scholarly Communication (Tracey) We could add new members; we are down three

ULMS (David) – Rapido evaluation year one report May, year two final recommendation . Tactical/Strategic. Use analysis staff, student feedback.   ILLiad replacement will need to happen.  Rapido could contribute to statewide resource sharing

Update on COLD Exec Meeting with CCRO Exec and Collaboration on Research Data Services

9:30

COLD Executive met with CCRO executive committee on potential opportunities in data services. CSUF, SJSU, CSULA, Sac State research represented. Discussion topics included:

o   the ORCID pilot

o   Pivot

o   open access

o   central funding

o   coordination of a CSU press

o   data visualization

o   the impact of campus becoming R2

o   how to identify projects across campuses

o   how to show value of investment in libraries/research

o   transformative agreements

o   Should COLD Executive Committee and CCRO Executive Committee meet regularly? 

·         Ann reminds us that our subscriptions rates often go up when an institution moves up in Carnegie classification

·         This first meeting was a brainstorm session

Discussion: ORCID is a good example because it required collaboration/communication with libraries, IT, and research. that there’s a lot of interest  approaches to staffing, technology.   Mark made the point that it’s a specialize skill set that will grow into a more generalized skill.  Do we look into a data repository?  We have a space in SW? Yes but it’s not infinite.

Pat shared experience at Pomona, who has a data librarian.  Not enough volume for a full time data management librarian.  Suggests describing level of services. John mentioned data from government projects, complex because some will have legal deposit requirements and some will be sensitive and not sharable.  John pointed out faculty awareness of requirements are not there.  Mike asked how we keep it moving.  Andriana mentioned a data literacy structure at SLO.

How do we keep moving forward? White paper/writing into strategic planning. There really should be interest from grant-funding bodies to support this. 

Next Steps: post a call for who wants to spend more time on this conversation.  This group should be tasked with a survey to find out what data needs are.

John Wenzler

Access to Assigned Texts in Courses

10:00

John described student-initiated textbook program at CSUEB, but discussed challenges including supplemental access and rising costs.  Have moved most of the funding to streaming video.  John asked what others are doing.

Discussion of whether or not students are using textbooks program.  Anecdotal – circ down in places where students aren’t coming to campus.  But some, the program is popular.  It’s an equity issue.  Pat: affordable learning but with eye to not cutting into bookstore.  Ecopies purchased, if print, one copy is purchased.  Some have used HEERF funding for this.
